Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from her committee assignments this week after Democrats announced recently that they are pushing to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a conspiracy theorist, from her committee assignments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The House is set to consider a measure this week that calls for Taylor Greene, a controversial first-term lawmaker known for his support of the QAnon conspiracy theory, from her assignment on the Education and Labor Committee,&#8221; Fox News reported. &#8220;A proposed GOP-backed amendment to that measure calls for Omar, frequently identified as a member of the &#8216;Squad&#8217; of progressive Democrats, to be removed from her committee assignments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fox News reporter Chad Pergram said that those sponsoring the legislation included Reps. Brian Babin (R-TX), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Jody Hice (R-GA), Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Ronny Jackson (R-TX).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">D) Reps.

Silly duke: Allowing a single Jew into his city leads to death and destruction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Immediately after winning her win in 2018, Omar changed her views on the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement from saying it was \u201ccounteractive\u201d during her campaign to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/American-Politics\/Freshman-congresswoman-Ilhan-Omar-flip-flops-shares-support-for-BDS-571917\">saying<\/a>\u00a0that she \u201cbelieves in and supports the BDS movement, and has fought to make sure people\u2019s right to support it isn\u2019t criminalized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. federal government said last year that the &#8220;Global BDS Campaign&#8221; was anti-Semitic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many of the founding goals of the BDS movement, including denying the Jewish people the universal right of self-determination \u2013 along with many of the strategies employed in BDS campaigns are anti-Semitic,&#8221; the left-leaning ADL <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/resources\/backgrounders\/bds-the-global-campaign-to-delegitimize-israel\">said<\/a> in a statement. &#8220;Many individuals involved in BDS campaigns are driven by opposition to Israel\u2019s very existence as a Jewish state.\u00a0\u00a0 Often time, BDS campaigns give rise to tensions in communities \u2013 particularly on college campuses \u2013 that can result in harassment or intimidation of Jews and Israel supporters, including overt antisemitic expression and acts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Omar has spoken out against sanctions being used against nations like socialist Venezuela and the Islamic Republic of Iran, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/american-politics\/ilhan-omars-hypocrisy-on-iran-sanctions-reveals-her-anti-israel-bias-613997\">reportedly<\/a> has different views when it comes to sanctioning Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Omar is not the only Democrat that Republicans could seek to get kicked off of committee assignments as far-left Rep.
